Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
[Verse 2]
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
[Verse 3]
Ah, something in my heart and in your eye
Now, Lord, tell me he's not someone just passin' by
Ah, and when you cleared your throat, was that your cue?
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
[Verse 4]
Oh now, when I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep comin' up with three
You're too much for one man but not enough for two
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
Well, well, well
[Verse 5]
Well, you tell me men don't have much intuition
Now Lord, is that what you're really thinkin', love?
Or are you wishin'?
Before you wreck your old home, be certain of the new
[Verse 6]
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what, is what, is what, is what, is what, is
Dadgummit, oh
Who is he and what is he to you?
